82 GMC about time

well I finally started working on the rear, I was going to just flip the rear and remove 3-4 springs and add helper bags since thats what I have. But when I removed the bed I found this... My pass spring looks to be stressed and unwrapping from the front bushing compared to the drivers side. Now I cant decide if I should replace the springs or link it. Crap, so much for not having to spend anymore money.

(flip the rear and remove 3-4 springs and add helper bags since thats what I have) by doing this how much does that lower it in the rear

Since it already had a hanger and shackle kit my guess would be around 12.5 or so. I got a deal on a set of springs from the local recycler so it looks like I will be running a 5 spring pack and air lift bags.

do u have any pictures

I just started the notch today so I'll post up as soon a I take some more.

It's been a long week and not much got done, just the notch and spring mock up.

A couple update pics

Nice progress.

Well the Arizona curse got me finally (aim)! After finding shavings from cutting the threads for the fittings inside the bags, Both have pin holes in them that only showed up after installing them and running over 60 psi.They showed no issues on the bench at 20-40 psi. I actually have had a pretty good experience with some of there other products, Spindles, hangers, etc. Waiting to see how they handle this.

Sucks...but they can only remain to be a curse if people keep buying from them. Kinda like wal-mart.
